Chapter 244 February Watershed

A well-staffed team is definitely not easy to provoke, especially when these guys are recovering, so you really shouldn't still have the idea of picking up your opponent, because that's no different from looking for death.

Originally, Boston's position in the top eight in the East is not too far from the chasers behind. No matter whether Chen Feng returns to the team or not, those guys also rushed up and then surpassed your ambition.

This is a kind of motivation and also a kind of trouble. The previous competition for more than a month was really a little difficult. Although the ranking has not dropped much, the record is indeed not as fierce as before.

Even Rivers himself admitted this, mainly because the Celtics' sprint started too early. Before others started, these guys went crazy before Christmas.

Now it's all right. People say that there is a dividing line before and after the All-Star Game. As a result, the Celtics' trough has been advanced. These guys have stuttered all the way into mid-February since they entered January.

Especially at the end of January, these guys once had a bleak experience of three consecutive defeats. It was the Pistons, Bulls, Wizards and other teams in the away game.

This is definitely not a game that can be won by courage. Especially when he met the Bulls, Pierce was slightly injured in his wrist and did not play. Rondo also had a truce because of his ankle.

With such a lineup to compete with others, Rivers even praised the bandits under his command because he only lost eight points in the end. It's no wonder. After all, such a broken lineup can't win no matter how you look at it.

The previous encounters are all because the lineup is in the adjustment period, and the whole team is an inevitable process from the peak to the trough. After all, you can't always lie on the peak in 82 games.

Even the Bulls in their heyday won 72 victories, and it was like this when Joe was in charge. Do you still expect Rivers to surpass this unprecedented record?

Anyway, if you lose, you lose. There is no excuse to find. Rivers doesn't bother to think about those failures. For him, who is usually a simple fat man, the rest of the games are the most critical.

It is said that there is a watershed after the All-Star Game in February. The strong team will naturally try their best to lock in the playoff quota as soon as possible, and the weak team will also try to strengthen themselves before the transfer market closes.

Many other teams have begun to prepare for strength after more than half a season of running-in. The player's collocation has gradually developed a complete structure. If there is no injury interference, it is bound to start to grab points.

This is not a football match. Basketball only has wins or losses, and there is no draw. No matter who you are, as long as you are not careful, you may fall behind at this stage, or even suddenly collapse.

In the last season when the Bulls raged, the Eagles were also fierce for a period of time. The winning streak at the beginning of the game also shocked many people, but the result was just the eighth in the East.

Therefore, the fierce team at the beginning may not be able to be strong until the end. They may use their unfamiliar way to cause trouble for many opponents, and then win a lot of games.

But once your opponent begins to adapt to your style of playing, your advantage will definitely be gone, and then you will be slapped to death. Those teams that are too strong will often be beaten miserably.

Of course, the existence of animals such as the Spurs, Mavericks and Pistons is no longer within the scope of this discussion. Their victory is not the way to shock others, but just take it naturally.

The Celtics are not that wild now. At least Rivers doesn't think he can easily win any game. He hasn't forgotten the lesson of losing to the Milwaukee Bucks this season.

So after the All-Star Game, Rivers' first training class did not arrange too much content, but this guy put the next schedule in front of all the players.

"Half of the season has passed, and we are still in the top eight in the East, but the remaining 40 games must be the hardest, and all teams will work hard for the playoffs."

When Rivers said these words, he has been staring at the bandit in front of him. This is the last team he has worn for most of the season, and it is also the guarantee for him to hit the playoffs.

Although Angie is still thinking about how to add bricks and tiles to the team, according to the current shape, the general big brands are definitely useless, but if you choose the second- and third-tier goods, it is really not easy to use.

Originally, Rivers planned to add someone to the point guard, but looking at the list of those who may enter the transaction, there is really no need to think about the cost performance.

And there are few that can meet Rivers' requirements. After all, West's role has been replaced by Ron. This guy can only be a substitute point guard now.

However, even if Rivers is only one of his men, he has a little confidence to break his wrists with any opponent, and the most gratifying thing for him is that most of these guys are brought out by himself.

Needless to say, Jefferson and Perkins, Rondo and Chen Feng are almost taught by themselves and Siebodu, which can be regarded as a personal guard.

At the critical moment when the schedule is about to enter the end, Rivers is destined to bet all his treasures on this group of children. There is still the last fight in the playoffs. He doesn't want to give up any work.

"Everyone wants to enter the playoffs. You have to step on at least seven teams under your feet to achieve this goal. Therefore, when your opponents start to work hard, you can only fight harder than them! More ruthless!"

"I don't care how the guys behind will chase us. That's not what I have to consider, because the Celtics are better than them now! So, I only ask a little from you! Bite the guys in front of you, whether they are the Pistons or the Bulls, your task is to defeat them!"

"They are not the kings of the top. These guys have also been cut off by us. Now we just want to bring that feeling to these guys again! Let them start to feel scared!"

After a series of passionate catharsis, Rivers' tone paused. While the group of kids were still digesting his remarks, he opened his mouth and added a few more words, which were a very straightforward expression.

"Many people say that March is crazy, because there is an NCAA sixty-four-final game. In order not to be eliminated, they will play every game desperately. Well, I need you to feel that pressure in February. If we lose one game, we will not be eliminated. But whoever doesn't perform well has to get out of here!"

"It's anyone, there is no special case. As long as you dare to be lazy on the court, the door of NBDL will be open to you, and I will even put you on the injury list. This is the punishment, no doubt!"

"I want a group of soldiers who can charge, not a group of cowardly guys who just want to live by their own talents. You just need to remember that this is Boston, and what you need here is desperate guys!"

Rivers has never been the kind of person who can be tough to the bone, but if this fat guy is fierce, everyone knows how terrible it will be. How can the head coach of the NBA have kind people?

Even if this guy usually discusses here and there with you pleasantly, even Chen Feng knows that don't try to challenge Rivers' bottom line, otherwise, you can only be a spectator.

Although this fat guy does not have the cunning potential of Riley, if he is allowed to control his little guys, he will always need Rivers to have a very strong control.

Maybe he hasn't tempered such a style in the previous few seasons, but Auerbach's bones have been engraved in every corner of Boston. With this old guy pressing the battle for Rivers, everything is possible.

Even if he is a simple fat man, after being educated by Auerbach for more than half a year, there will be a stingling smell in his words, not to mention that he has a standard beast under him.

It's hard to say who influenced whom. Maybe Rivers has been corrected several times by Cardinal Auerbach. Maybe it's because the beastly boy infected the wild to the fat man.

Anyway, Boston is no longer the team that Murphy has known for more than ten years. From the head coach to the players, a strong bandit spirit is forming and brewing.

Murphy is now watching all this happen. He doesn't know what the once familiar team will be like, but he can feel that the fierceness of more than a decade ago is slowly reappearing.

Rivers doesn't know what the outside world thinks of the current Celtics. Anyway, he is now thinking about rushing down with these guys until he enters the playoffs.

February is definitely a watershed between the strong and the weak. If you break through it, it is a vast world. If you want to take a step back, there is only an abyss. In the NBA, losers are not qualified to talk about the future.

Having lost two or three seasons, Rivers is not going to continue that nightmare memory. Even when he chatted with Angie, he once said that if it doesn't work this season, he plans to submit his resignation letter.

No one will hope that he will always be a loser. Rivers used to have no strong strength to seize the opportunity to win. Now it's different. He has this opportunity for everyone to get to know Boston again!

There have been 16 championships here! Rivers doesn't expect to replicate the greatness of his predecessors, but at least he wants to leave his own honor here!

February is the time when all teams are ready to rush. Rivers doesn't want to be dumped by his opponents at this time, even if it's dumped! It was also the Celtics who left others behind!

I want to step on us into the top eight, let's dream of being a mother!

It is impossible for Rivers to know what the other opponents are doing at this moment, but his team is ready to fight, and they dare to fight with any opponent.

The February watershed, the group of people who are divided, are destined to become the stepping stone for those who succeed.

Now the Celts are not used to being trampled under their feet...
